What are interpersonal levels?

Interpersonal levels are like different kinds of friendships you can have with people around you.

Imagine you're playing with blocks. If you're building a tower all by yourself, that's like being at level 1, you’re just doing your own thing. But when you start sharing blocks with a friend and both of you build together, that’s level 2, you’re working as a team.

If you're playing with three friends, all building different parts of a big block city, that's like level 3, more people, more fun, and more things to do. It's like when your whole class works on a big project together, each person doing their part so the whole thing looks amazing.

Sometimes, you might be at level 1 with one friend, but at level 3 with another group, that’s okay! You can switch between levels depending on who you're with and what you’re doing. It's like having different kinds of playtime with different friends, each one is fun in its own way!
